hmm cann't believe i am saying this but all the anti- buizel fans aren't being as vicious as i thought they would be. which allows me to admit though i love buizel and his great attitude seeing him get pwn was just funny and believeable as gravy said it looked like it hurt alot physically. chimchar was awesme and so was gliscor only tinny bad spot is gliscar seemed to take alot more punishment then when he fought jun. i mean this guy was getting his butt handed to him for atleast a couple minutes i really think he should of fainted reallistically speaking. he took at least one flash cannon and three iron heads and i am pretty sure he got slammed into the ground a couple times.

gliscar looked like he was on the ropes then we see ash giving him encouragement and he suddenly doesn't look hurt at all and ready to take a beating (which he does) proof that not only does return work differently then it does in the games but that gliscar knows it.

So guys, what are the monetary and social benefits of joining the Anti-Buizel Movement? As in, do I get some sort of tax rebate or movie coupons or maybe even my name in a raffle for a free flight to Tahiti? I assume that all comes after signing away my free will of thinking on the initial contract, but would I at least get a complimentary keychain by merely checking out the booth?

(LILEEP appeared in this? That increases its anime grand total screentime to what now? THREE seconds?)

Before i post my opinion about the episode and the buizel pawnage i have something to say. HAHAHAHAHAHA! I knew it. For all of you people saying ash will lose im wrong go take that answer and be ashamed. *cough*Anyway this was quite an intresting battle. Hopefully this means that a lot of things with galactic can start moving and the show gets finished.

Watching the episode, I'm wondering how Roark reacted when he saw that Chimchar was in Ash's command...

I actually think there was a comment. Roark looked really shocked to see Ash with Chimchar and I don't remember is Ash said "Shinji" at all but it did look like Roark knew that that it was the same Chimchar.

All of Ash's pokemon look happy and proud in the gym win shot regardless of rather they get a gym win or not because they are collectively happy that the team got the badge. And of course he wasn't gonna go with Pikachu or Grotle this battle, have you not noticed that this series hes actually picking his pokemon based on type.

Well, actually, Bastiodon is part rock type, which means fire attacks are neutral against it, same as grass and electric attacks, and most of Gliscors attacks dont do much damage agasint steel or rock types. So really, Ash would have been better using Pikachu (due to Gliscor having to rely on firefang for the whole battle to cause damage, whereas Pikachu could use all its electric attacks), and Grotle might not have done too badly either (although Bastiodon DId have flamethrower so really Grotle is about as useful as Gliscor in this battle).

Either way, im still very glad Gliscor got an actual battle. It did awesomly. The rest of the battle was enjoyable, if not a bit predictable from the preview.

Although i have to admit, Buizel should not have been in this gym battle. Ash spams Buizel because its "powerful" yet it hasn't really shown much proof of it. It would have been better to show Pikachu or Staravia (or even Grotle) getting pwned then Buizel. It just seemed like they used Buizel for the sake of using it.

As people have said before in other threads, no they didn't use Buizel just to use Buizel. It had a type advantage.

Its not as if the writers have ALWAYS gone by type advantage, they can let it slide once or twice to give us a break. But apparantly not.

Well, god forbid the writers make it so Ash actually show some measure of competence in taking advantage of typing. What would you have preferred? Him using Staravia or Grotle just to see them get their butts kicked?

...Yeah to be honest. I wanna see them again! And I actually wanna see Grotle in a battle. And really Ash isnt using his head THAT much. He used Buizel isntead of Staravia agaisnt Fantina. If he'd used Staravia in the Fanina battle I wouldn't be so bored of Buizel. I miss the good old days of Ash using pokemon that dont necessarily have the advantage strutting their stuff a bit.

1. So, screech is officially an offensive move now, huh? and it hurts pretty bad by the looks of it.
2. So many potential moments to kick in the super-blaze of the lil' chimmy, but lost in vain........the writers bring stuff as they please, not cool!
3. Buizel must have been mightily de-powered to have lost to just screech and iron-tail. Maybe its defense is wayyyyy lower than its sp. defense since it can take quite a few aura-sphere(was it?) and still stand its ground.....must check...
4. OK. Gliscor is officially the coolest pokemon in Ash's team right now, IMO. And its wink is just adorable.........why did they have to give Paul one too?.....I am just so selfish about it right now.
5. Its always good to see revived fossils as caretakers.......that mad Kabutops was just hilarious!!
6. At the end of the episode it does not really help to feel that the writers were biased on Ash's side, even it was in the tiniest possible way..........but who cares, Chimmy rocked, gliscor pawned.....that's all that matters right now!

All and all I loved this Gym battle. Chimchar took down Bronzor and Steelix ( Poor Gym Steelix, always being taken down by small fire breathing mammals) And not only did Gliscor get used in her first Gym battle, but she totally rocked it. I loved the part when she went rodeo style on Bastiodon and then bit it with Fire Fang.

The only thing that peeved me with the episode was TR. I mean was it really necessary to have to see them doing something bathed in stupid every time that a pokemon fainted. I mean last Gym they did something productive, this time, they were just there to be annoying and break up the action

Blue likes the Dancing Trpinch so should you.If you approve of Black and White's new anime-only lead Iris, put this in your sig(started by TrainerOfLegend)

TR's appearnace in the last gym was pretty cool. Since when was Gliscor a girl? I always thought it was a boy.

wow, when Chimchar used Flame wheel on Steelix's face, it was the best part. Chimchar battle style is awesome and 4 wins in a row prove that Chimchar is stronge.

I love steelix victory against Buizel even it was a short.

Gliscor win surprised me but it was great to watch a battle like that.

Am I the only one who think Byron's Design is unique and likeable?,
the best Design + awesome personality= the Best Gym Leader in the pokemon world.

Chimchar had 1 win in Veilstone and 1 in Hearthome followed by Canalave. Chimchar might have 4 wins lain a row later but that is for the 7th and 8h gyms.

Chimchar didn't actually get the win in Veilstone, it got pretty badly beaten, and got saved by Staravia. I think BirdStaraptor meant it took down two of Fantina's pokemon and two of Byrons pokemon, without fainting (technically) inbetween.

- New episode on Christmas? What about family togetherness? Granted, this is Japan we're talking about, and Japanese kids are robots who were born in a factory, thus not having families.
- Byron sends out Bronzor! Since it's not yet Bronzong, it can only fire cannons from its FACE.
- Roark is completely oblivious to Salsa now being in loving company.
- Chimchar heats things up by turning on the fireplace. Good place for roasting Bronzor's chestnuts.
- Ah, Steelix. Now THERE'S a jolly face I love seeing every year. The guy's always smiling, even when in searing pain. Gotta love it.
- Buizel's here! Time to go caroling! Lots of great classics to choose from, including Jingle Bells, Snowman, and the Freezeezy Peak theme.
- Steelix sings like a girl when using Screech while caroling. Oh, Little Town of Overused Pokemon...
- Steelix's face just caused an explosion. It's not truly Christmas until something goes up in smoke.
- And heeeeeere's Dr. Drywall! I'm glad this thing's gone after this. I'm tired of making up names for it.
- Meanwhile, Team Rocket sneaks into the chimera lab, as Jessie is rather ticked at how she didn't get a Parental Kangashark pet for a holiday gift.
- And of course, they make the horrible mistake of touching the escaped chimera. It's okay. We all tried doing that.
- Gliscor got a little too eager to devour those Red Hots he found in his stocking.
- I just noticed that Byron wears a bracelet. For a good cause, no doubt. Shovel injury awareness.
- Gliscor: "Kewlies! You got me a new bike shaped like a Bastiodon!"
- And of course, Ash gets his limited edition collector's Franklin Badge. But since he took it out of the case, it's no longer mint-condition, thereby diminishing its value to completely worthless. At least it repels lightning.

Good battle. The only one I haven't liked this saga was Wake's, and while I didn't like Ash's victory match against Roark, both the losing battle and Paul's fight more than made up for it. Byron needs a future appearance, however. Along with Wake, they both have some untapped wackiness.

no, Chimchar had 2 in Hearthome and 2 in Canalave, he didn't win any battle in Veilstone.

Oh yeah. Chimchar somewhat easily beat 2 in those 2 gyms.
